- Abstract
The article reports on the findings of an inquiry into fly-in fly-out (FIFO) and Drive-in Drive-out (DIDO) work practices in regional Australia. It highlights the poor understanding of the impact of the practices on workers, their families and host communities. It indicates that FIFO should inform physical and mental health services, while workers need to make an active decision about where they will access primary care.
